I am running the 10.14.4 Beta and have The Radeon VII with the edited 5000 kext. I can get into Mojave with dGPU set as primary but I get the freezing issue. If I run with iGPU as primary, Vega64 shows in the system information as being detected. I don’t get freezing this way. If I leave iGPU as primary will I still get dGPU acceleration for tasks? In Lightroom for example, acceleration only shows Intel KBL and not Vega. Photoshop shows the same. Geek bench, however, will generate a performance report for the Radeon VII. Sorry and thanks.

With your screen plugged into the Vega VII and iGPU as primary what does system information say under display adapters? It should say Metal supported for the Vega.

When I tried to unplug from iGPU into the VII I get a black screen. When I unplug from VII to the iGPU it’s black for a while then eventually goes back

Yes, you add it to the info.plist of the 5000kext.

Where can I get the 5000kext?

It's in your Library/System/Extensions directory. It's called AMDRadeonX5000.kext.

Here is a mini guide to fix the info.plist.
